sculptMeshCacheCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-adjustSize(-asz)	boolean
If true, puts the tool into the mode where dragging the mouse will edit the brush size. If false, puts the tool back into the previous sculpt mode.
-adjustStrength(-ast)	boolean
If true, puts the tool into the mode where dragging the mouse will edit the brush strength. If false, puts the tool back into the previous sculpt mode.
-affectAllLayers(-aal)	boolean
If true, the brush affects all layers at once.
-brushDirection(-bd)	int
Specifies the direction of the named brush.
-brushSize(-bsz)	float
Specifies the world-space size of the named brush.
-brushStrength(-bst)	float
Specifies the world-space strength of the named brush.
-buildUpRate(-bur)	float
Specifies the brush strength increasing along the stroke.
-constrainToSurface(-cts)	boolean
If true, the modification keeps the surface curvature.
-direction(-d)	int
Specifies the direction in which the vertices are moved.
-displayFrozen(-df)	boolean
If false, turns off the display of frozen area on the object.

-grabSilhouette(-gs)	boolean
If true, the grab brush uses paint-through mode.
-grabTwist(-gtw)	boolean
If true, the grab brush twists the vertices.
-inverted(-inv)	boolean
If true, inverts the effect of the brush.
-lastMode(-lm)	string
Specifies the type of the last active sculpting brush.
-lockShellBorder(-lsb)	boolean
Lock the shell borders so that they won't be moved by a UV texture brush.
-minSize(-msz)	float
Specifies the minimum size percentage of the current brush.
-minStrength(-mst)	float
Specifies the minimum strength percentage of the current brush.
-mirror(-mr)	int
Specifies the mirror mode of the brush.
-mode(-m)	string
Specifies the type of sculpting effect the brush will perform.
-orientToSurface(-ots)	boolean
If true, aligns the brush display to the surface of the mesh.

// Create a new sculpting context, then switch to it
sculptMeshCacheCtx sculptMeshCacheContext;
setToolTo sculptMeshCacheContext;

// Set sculptMeshCacheContext's brush size to 10.0
